I foresee many disciplinaries in the near future…

How about the “Random CSS generator” add-on that randomly rewrites a handful of CSS rules on the fly for each website you visit.

So sometimes the images would completely disappear, or take up 90% of the screen; at other times the text would be resized to 8px and coloured white.

Or everything with an HTML class or ID could be styled to look like a link. It would be like the web page equivalent of that scene in The Thomas Crown Affair in the art gallery with everyone dressed in bowler hats.

The possibilities are endless.

How about the ‘file roulette’ add-on, which deletes a file from your hard drive each time you open a new page in Firefox. At random. Could be a photo, could be your dissertation.

Gosh, it’s lucky I only have an evil mind, but no technical backup to implement these ideas…

I have to say that I find Safari for Windows does the same — it’s supposedly faster than Firefox, but I find it incredibly slow loading pages.

How about the “Last Viewer” add-on for Firefox? It ensures that you’re the last viewer of each page you view by setting that site as a target for a Denial Of Service (DOS) attack? That would be a very unwelcome add-on.

Actually, that’s a thought. Has anyone implemented something like SETI or whatever, as a firefox plugin? I mean, the thing hogs enough RAM, swap and CPU (ha! the lightweight browser!), why not at least have an excuse to blame it for bringing my machines crashing to their knees completely?

IE Tab - an extension from Taiwan, features: Embedding Internet Explorer in tabs of Mozilla/Firefox…

I don’t use it, I use IE View which opens your current page in a new instance of Internet Explorer. I found that IE Tab was conflicting with another add-on that I was using.
